The Seven Deadly Sins. Choose one of the seven deadly sins: Lust, Pride, Gluttony, Greed, Wrath, Envy, or Sloth. Make your choice the title of your post, then write about it. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.
This humble troll
I want to say it’s lust.
Lust is so sexy, at least.
And pride?
It implies something
You can brag about.
Sloth sounds very restful
And wrath at least is power.
And greedy, wow, to be a pig
Just for one day...
Gorging yourself seems so cool
But I diet. My rare act of control.
I guess it is envy.
In Chinese, Envy translates
As “Eating vinegar”
I do too much of that,
Though I don’t know:
Am I sour because I envy
Or was I sour, and the envy
Came forth? I do not know.
I see that plate you have
And drool.
I see your wealth
And stare
But mostly,
I see you, as a person
And know how far
I have to go
Yet never to reach.
